...because that's what I'm running them at. Hello again, fellow overclockers! Today I come to you with a question: What's the highest safe voltage, in your experience, to run DDR3 DIMMs at?
I have a bad stick of RAM. It can't do it's rated spec of 1600 MHz, not even overvolted to the moon. Buuuut, it can do 1333 MHz, with tightened timings.
I'd like to get these sticks stable, tune the timings, and stop worrying about it. Every setting I change is followed by an overnight assault by memtest. I have a fan pointing at them. If they die, I'll get some ECC RAM to replace them (have wanted that for quite a while!) Everything is perfect....
...but I'd really prefer these survive. Just so I don't have to shell out a couple hundred bucks. What do you guys think? 1.8 volts? Or is it crazy talk?
